Hi Cade, Didn’t get a chance to comment directly on this when I was running through all the stories for Top in Fiction this week, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this story. So much so, I went back and read it again. A brilliantly original viewpoint for the planet’s Armageddon. Great stuff 👍🏼

Thank you very much sir! I truly appreciate you taking the time and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for starting your TIF, filling a void, and giving writers like myself a great outlet to watch and post onto.

This is above average writing for this platform. I’ve read a lot on Substack but this is the first piece that blew my hair back. I really enjoyed this. The premise is very smart. The plane is thoroughly humanised. The fact that the story is told from the perspective of the plane is certainty cool enough but the plane finding its purpose through the story is really great. Great job. I look forward to more.

That’s a hell of a compliment Issac, I really appreciate that. Definitely going through a Bradbury year and trying to get some stories out there.

Thanks for reading, truly means a lot to me.

I call em how I see em. I even spread your story around on my social media. I’ve never done that for a piece on substack. Sent the link your story to some friends on here. I always try to spend a fixed allotment of time supporting authors on this platform and others. It’s part of my writing routine (though it’s not writing). But, I only support people that are good at writing.

Curse you for making me fall in love with an aircraft, only to rip it away from at the end 😔. This was a wonderful read.

I liked this. It reminds me of the first story I posted here. https://open.substack.com/pub/serialassemblerofwords/p/in-the-beginning
